Leftovers after removing instrument track

Post by abacus66 »

Hi there!
I wonder why I can see in the project file the traces of the softsynth that I've deleted from project? This affects the file size :?

Try "save copy as".

I thought it might. I haven't looked at this for a while, but DP appears to make quick incremental writes to the project file when you Save, rather than taking the time to rewrite the entire file.
